Taleh (Bile Blog) Civilians begun to flee from Taleh town in the northern
region of Sool on Tuesday after Somaliland forces invaded the town.
Somaliland forces took control of the town on Tuesday without
resistance as forces loyal to Khatumo state of Somalia withdrew from the
town.
The town has been the seat of the newly established Khatumo administration which opposes Somaliland’s secessionist campaign.
Residents were fleeing to nearby villages and others to Buhodle town
to avoid possible fight between Somaliland forces, Khatumo State and the
Puntland forces.
Puntland’s information Minister Abdiweli Hersi Indhaguran said
Somalilamd capture of Taleh town was a total provocation against
Puntland and that Garowe will immediately respond hard on it.
